Abstract

Next-generation handhelds are expected to be multi-functional devices capable of executing a broad range of compute-intensive applications. These handheld devices are constraint by their physical size, their computational power and their networking ability. These factors could hinder future performance and versatility of handheld devices. Reconfigurable hardware incorporated within distributed servers can help address portable device constraints. This paper proposes a context-based negotiation and bidding technique enabling a handheld device to intelligently utilise its surrounding reconfigurable resources. The negotiation protocol enables handhelds to optimally offload their computational task. The contextual aspect of the protocol uses the location of a mobile device to identify the urgency of a user request. This helps to optimise the quality of service experienced by a handheld user. An architectural framework currently being deployed and tested as well as overall future objectives are outlined.
